There was some freak-out energy in the hall that night.
IME, any 80's show with Bird Song as the first set closer would be a good choice for a dark freaky show.

Things I'd recommend, "Dark Star" from 11/11/73 (super interesting and moody although it does end up happy), 12/6/73 (longest one without interpolations of other songs) and, famously, 8/27/72 (very dark!). The "Playing in the Band" from 8/27/72 and 7/29/88 too. Pretty much any "Dark Star," "Other One" (2/5/78 for example is short, but really dark) and "Playing in the Band" (well, the jam segments anyway) would be worth checking out. So would a lot of "Drums>Spaces."

The Eleven through New Potato Caboose on this show is top notch.

Dark Star from this show is a standout,it takes off at 6:30.

Another Dark Star,but a completely different beast.The music after the first verse at about 17:15 through the end will bend your brain some,but the playing throughout is inspired.

Seriously, I'd echo the journey-through-states-of-the-soul comment; there's a fair amount of dark and intense, but it always comes out the other side in some form (without being Pollyanna-ish), and certainly the lyrics aren't in the Victim-of-the-Crime mode. Although Wharf Rat ... hmmmm ... that can get pretty moody and intense ...
On the whole, for a darker/louder/edgier ride, I'd recommend exploring the '60s. There's a reason Anthem sounds like it does.
